Had another attempt at Charlie, Dobbie and Mia. I'm getting pretty good at Charlie on the left and it's tending to look like the same portrait...

Charlie, Dobbie And Mia Again
It's been a busy day. Three works of art but two of them were so bad I'm not even going to show them here on the blog. The first was an attempt...
Charlie, Dobbie And Mia
It's all very well putting together a collection of marker drawings of the Rose And Crown dogs, but I think the landlady wants a painting. While a...
Charlie
The artwork is slowing down for a while now as I'm working on another actuarial contract during the week now. But at the weekend, I'm back from...
Dobbie
Too distraught after a bad experience with the inktense pencils, I thought I'd have another go at Dobbie but with the markers. This has come out...
Dobbie On The Sofa
Last night, when I nipped over to the Rose & Crown to pick up a takeaway (I had the duck pizza since you ask), the landlady suggested she might...
Samira Ahmed
We’re into lockdown and, with grass roots football missing from the calendar, my Sundays are no longer messed up and I can participate again in...
Michael Clarke Duncan
Ok, so there was still time left in the day for a portrait with the markers. The Daredevil film was on the telly the other day and I couldn't help...
I Am The Eye In The Sky
So, AA, when are we going to see what you're doing with that painting of an eye from the other day? And why is it exactly that you're needing to...
Annie Mac
Portrait Artist Of The Week is back. This is supposed to be Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac. Believe it or not, I actually knew who this was - there used to...
An Eye (A Work In Progress)
Today I painted an eye. This is part of a larger work, the full details of which I'll keep a secret for now. I can't get any further with that...
Landscape Artist Of The Year 2021
I've got my entry in early for Landscape Artist Of The Year 2021. I needed to submit a landscape painting. I chose Sedona, Arizona. I was...
The Cheetah Woman
After the painting experiment two days ago that I unwrapped yesterday, I had an overnight think and decided that I was going to press ahead and...
Another Abstract Underpainting
The markers and inktense pencils haven't really been working out for me over the last week or so, so I thought I'd better brave the cold outside...
Stephen Hawking
After John Paul Jones came out so well a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to have another go at drawing a portrait with markers by concentrating on...
Sedona, Arizona
Yesterday's High Noon painting was a bit lacking in colour for one of my creations, so I thought I'd do something colourful today: a three colour...
High Noon
With not many ideas about what to paint and not wanting to keep doing abstract after abstract, I thought I'd have a go at another famous Western....
The Tree Of Life
My second painting of the day was a lot more successful. The underpainting was again in ultramarine blue, raw sienna and burnt sienna. With two...
Led Zeppelin
And here's the complete Led Zep collection. The four drawings are all in different styles but work well as a set. Four different colour...
John Paul Jones
And here he is at last, John Paul Jones. The only bassist to have ever given me any trouble (Geddy Lee, Jimbo and Roy are three of my greatest...
